Brisbane get’s A Locals Guide

I am currently in love with creative idea’s agency, MAP magazine’s new app – A Local’s Guide. What I love is the app builds a community around what is great to see and do in Brisbane. For example, want to see what local’s have recommended for Brunch? Try the french toast breakfast from Au Cirque (it’s delightful!) or see the Mondo Organic’s breakfast cocktail … Read More Brisbane get’s A Locals Guide

Literally Confection

Cliche it may be, fad most definitely, but still I love a cupcake! I resisted visiting my local cupcake parlour, which really is too cutesy for words, for some time. But, as with all my firm-stands against fads, I quickly succumbed. The store showcases a delicious selection of wares. Each cake beautifully decorated, from the classically sublime to pure novelty (what coffee date is … Read More Literally Confection

Brunching with the girls

I met the girls for Brunch this Sunday. It was a casual affair, with friends coming and going as you please. Now, I’m not, nor have I ever been, a morning person. But when it comes to a leisurely brunch with good coffee and great friends I’m powerless to resist. I love cradling my coffee in both hands – gripping the cup tightly. Feeling the warmth … Read More Brunching with the girls

The Adjustment Bureau

I shared a saturday night novelty with one of my closest friends. Date night. For Friends. Our plans? Dinner and a movie. I know, standard fare. General catch up over sushi proceeded our viewing of The Adjustment Bureau. The film is credited as an adaptation of the graphic novel, “The Adjustment Team” by Philip K Dick, which I would now like to read. There … Read More The Adjustment Bureau

A Family Affair

Dinner for Five at Six. That’s right as part of my “Youthful New Year” campaign posted earlier this year I deigned to throw 10 Parties in 2011. For my first big adventure I organised a dinner party, something simple and classy was my initial plan. And why not invite, quite possibly my toughest audience. Yes, you’re quite right I organised a dinner party for my family: 4 … Read More A Family Affair

We don’t pay collectively

Every month I have a standing date with the girls. It’s my societal equivilent to the family Sunday dinner… except of course we’re brought together by choice. Needless to say, I love the second sunday of the month. What’s not for me to love – where ever we congregate there’s always lashings of conversation, stories and laughs. The hours just slip-slip on by. And … Read More We don’t pay collectively

Coffee with Lil’sis

I met Lil’sis for a catch-up coffee. She’s all shiny-haired and stylishly attired. We perch on our cafe chairs like good little patrons and snippy-ly await our beverages. We always order the same, which is unusual for me, one skinny latte + one flat-white. I love our coffee breaks. Once our orders arrive, addiction slightly abated; we’re free to delve into the family gossip, … Read More Coffee with Lil’sis
